[Talkin Baseball] Joshua Kuroda-Grauer suffered a ruptured testicle from being hit by a foul ball yesterday
Literally every person who see’s this story’s reaction
Nah this was me
I’ll go with Gonzo Dickens in the Christmas Carol “it’s scary from here folks, catch you on the other side”

Ow my balls!
It’s fucked up but I was literally imagining this image… damn we all fucked.
He got a single AFTER this happened btw
I know right? I watched him get back up and get back to the batter’s box and I’m like “oh he must have been wearing a cup after all, and it was just a bad angle or something”
The fact that he didn’t immediately leave the FIELD with that is insane
They would’ve needed to pick me up with a large spatula cause I ain’t standing up let alone getting back in the box after that.
I think that’s called a stretcher!
Its funnier picturing the grounds crew bringing out a large spatula to pick me up.
Pancake flip ya into the stretcher
And where do you go for all your spatula needs?
Spatula City!
Adrenaline then it went away
WELL HOW THE HELL’D YOU GET THE BEANS ABOVE THE FRANK
I thought you said he got a single ball left after this.
The announcer did say “No balls and one strike”
Yes, but this is a one-and-one situation
Oh he got a single all right
The ball on this man
This team CANNOT catch a break man that sucks for him
If he had caught it then it wouldn’t have ruptured
What if when the baseball hit his scrote it knocked the testicle out and replaced it?
Eye for an eye, ball for a ball. Ancient law
A rupture is a break of sorts
Weird to already have the lowest possible expectations and still somehow be disappointed. Truly a masterclass
What really sucks is he now has a “foul” ball after this incident
Having to sprint to first after a base hit post-nut crack must’ve sucked.
A real hit in the nuts
Wear your cup!
Advice, wear a cup. His future generation are destroyed
THE MAN!
THE MYTH!
THE LEGEND!
SCOTT STERLING!
Wow what a throwback. Haven’t seen that vid in a hot minute
Missed it by 1 minute
I fucking hate Reddit’s update rate sometimes. Didn’t see a trace of it when I posted.
That’s what you get for diving
This should be the punishment for all flopping.
Only one gender is eliminated from his loins. Everyone knows one testicle has girl sperm and the other has boy sperm
His future kids names are he’s not having kids.
That is not how you want to be busting your nuts.
The majority of these guys playing without cups these days is batshit insane.
I can understand infielders being confident in their skills, but no amount of skill can keep you from fouling one off the boys while batting
Nope. Bad hops happen even to the best-of-the-best.
Fair (see Beltre), but far more common for a batter fouling one off than an infielder to have a bad hop. I wouldn’t apply this to lower amateur levels because fields are not nearly as well maintained compared to pro fields
Seriously! How have they gotten this far in the game while flying free?
With everything we see/hear I’m convinced more DONT wear a cup than do and it’s by a significant margin
I did not know a single person that wasn’t a catcher wearing one when I was in high school.
I stopped wearing a cup after middle school. I played outfield, fuck that. Uncomfortable and hurts the junk just as much anytime I had to make an athletic play. Call it luck or whatever, but I played almost 10 more years after that without incident.
Has no one learned from jazz
The funniest thing about that was after he had to leave the game because he was in that much pain, he said afterwards that he still wouldn’t wear a cup because he doesn’t think it’s necessary. Love that goofball.
Yeah after the first time it happened to me in middle school football, I 100% changed my mind on cups
Jomboy really gotta put it on the graphic like that

Lol, yup - used his girlfriends urine to try to cheat a drug test.
Oh good, other option there was cancer
Yeah, my doctor ran a pregnancy screen when I had a lump and the deep confusion on the lab tech’s face when I showed up as a 6’4/280lb bearded man was gold (it ended up being nothing, but pay attention to your boys, dudes)
Fucking amateur. That’s the oldest fuck up in the book. They gotta be medically clean man. Dude had all the resources of a pro athlete and couldn’t even bother to get someone with the same gender? Off a pregnant woman’s urine is going to get flagged as atypical.
At least it wasn’t his pet’s urine like I’ve heard some people try lmao.
I hope he knew she was pregnant, otherwise there are multiple surprises there
I kinda hope he didn’t cuz otherwise that’s some top tier stupidity. That’s some hospital TV show type shit. My boy House would be having a field day.

Slopped this together after some mild convincing

Sickening. Players, please wear a cup so I have to stop thinking about this injury.
I couldn’t play a game of little league without a cup. The fact that MLB players will go no cup when guys can throw and hit as hard as they do is insane to me
I’m pretty sure Gary Sanchez doesn’t wear a cup… as a CATCHER.
This happened to Yadi off a foul tip.
I bet his tip def felt foul after that
I played high school ball and summer ball after high school. It’s not even uncomfortable, just wear the cups that you can put in sliding shorts.
Everyone likes those. I prefer the old style cup though
Same, former catcher now umpire here, the shorts ones are fine for playing the field, but they don’t keep the cup tight enough to your body when you squat to catch or get in a deep umpire stance.
Im a catcher too. Thats the exact problem I have with them, they slide around a bit and I’m scared if I take one to the junk it might pinch it. Maybe its a catcher thing. I always go undies, old school cup, sliders, pants
Chisolm fouled a ball of his junk earlier this season and had to leave the game. Still won’t wear a cup. Just boggles the mind.
“It won’t happen to me” -guy who it happens to
It genuinely pisses me off
For real. Wth is up with that? When did the players stop thinking straight?
Guys realized how much faster they can move without a cup when they were in HS and stopped wearing them.
I don’t think they ever started. They’re not exactly known for their smarts
Reminds me of one game where our pitcher forgot his cup one time and he took a comebacker right to the jewels. Im we all felt it that day.
Reminds me of playing little league and we learned that our shortstop wasn’t wearing one when a grounder hit a rock or something and went straight into his balls. You could hear guys for 10 miles in ever direction cry out in pain.
And also make sure your cup fits you. Backup catcher in college forgot his cup so borrowed the starter’s one for practice. Took a foul ball directly in the junk. It was hot as hell outside, the boys were hanging low and the cup was too big, so one of the boys slipped out. The cup slammed against his groin pinching between the two.
That’s a scream I won’t forget. I was in the outfield working on drills and I mean we all froze. By the time we got trainers out there it had already swollen like 3x the size.
Amazingly he didn’t suffer permanent damage, but he was out for quite a while. So yeah boys. Make sure it fits correctly.
when I was in little league I started playing catcher because I was the only one wearing one
It seems like literally nobody, even catchers, wear one in the pros. Guys are constantly catching strays in the stones and getting dropped like they took a left hook from Mike Tyson.
Even wearing a cup it doesn’t feel good, just prevents a life altering injury like this
That was our only ball
*Byoont!
This is the exact face I made
Fun fact up until last year the mariners have had the same amount of playoff appearances as a franchise as they had total ruptured testicles.
OK, I know it happened to Adrian Beltré, who else?
Mitch Haniger
Mike Parrot
Josias Manzanillo (x2)
Mitch Haniger is the reason why I knew this stat when it happened to him in 2019 lol
You’re telling me someone ruptured their testicle twice? What kind of sicko do you have to be to roll the dice again after doing it once lol
looked it up and it was both in the same incident (Manny Ramirez was the batter)
That makes more sense lol can’t even imagine that pain
You know if you have to rupture both it’s better to get them out of the way at the same time
Imagine getting neutered by Manny Ramirez
Beltre is on the record saying he still didn’t wear a cup after blowing out the first one.
When he was on the Dodgers they fined him repeatedly but he still wouldn’t do it.
Even after the hit he said something like he had three children he didn’t want more.
Best part was Griffey changing Beltre’s walk up music to the Nutcracker.
If I rupture two testicles while playing, I’m retiring
I personally know SEVEN guys with one remaining testicle, including three that had ruptures/torsion during physical activity. I don’t know why they allow MLB players to compete without cups.
Jesus, did you form s FB group or something?
I don’t know, this all seems suspicious. I have to assume that OP is the one who is rupturing the testicles.
So….if you get some players to rupture their own testicles, that will mean you’ll make the playoffs?
A literal foul ball.
Didn’t know I could laugh and wince at the same time
The foul ball was questioned afterwards stating “he took my purse and I didn’t know him.”
Peggy: “I have no testicles. Where’s your secret weapon now?”
Khan: “She’s bluffing! Finish her!”
I love the full quote: “Bobby, I believe you will find that I have no testicles.”
“I don’t even watch a game on tv without wearing a cup.”
The “T” in Tito stands for “unruptured testicles”.
Why do these fools not wear protection nowadays?
from what I understand, very few of them do! Its kinda surprising
Because it’s uncomfortable
I’d rather be uncomfortable than have ruptured balls. 🤦🏻♂️
It’s extremely uncommon or else more guys would wear a cup. I hated them and never wore one when i played.
So is getting hit. Jesus
Sprinting with a cup on is hella uncomfortable. When I was in little league, only catchers wore them, and in high school, only catchers and infielders for that reason.
Ay yi yi.
He’s gotta be in a world of hurt.
Here is the video of the incident
The emphasis on no balls was a bit too on the nose
“No balls” giggle “and a strike.
“Maybe take a few dry swings”
He might be taking dry swings the rest of his life
Did he get his first long ball and first ruptured ball in the same game? That’s gotta be a MLB first
He was so excited he busted a nut.
Im not sure I caught the nature of his injury. Lets make the headline larger next time plz.
comic sans would lessen the mental wince by 37% or so
Great, another one to add to the best team announcements.
Buy me some peanuts and OH MY GOD FUUUUUKCAHHHHH
BRO
Eesh imagine rupturing your testicle and then scrolling social media and seeing a giant graphic telling everyone that you ruptured your testicle
“Awww nuts.”
One of those ones he probably wishes the team just said ‘lower body injury’ and didn’t make his nut injury into a graphic
Thats a real kick in the shins..
No not the shins. Can’t you read?
^(/s)
Right in the plums!

No one wears a cup anymore? I thought it was required for insurance purposes? This is at least the third case this season. It happened to Jazz Chisolm Jr. earlier this year and some other dude.
Wear a goddamn cup
https://preview.redd.it/ce8rsnbamneh1.jpeg?width=1287&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8abfabc0ec030403a476d8c0592e2aaaa3753d3e
I’m a woman. How comparable is this pain to something stepping on a Lego or hitting your shin?
You can typically walk those off. You aren’t walking this off.
He kinda did tho. He hit a single right after
HE STAYED IN THE GAME?!
Only for the at bat and base running. Was replaced defensively after the inning
Insane feat
Single for the dingle. The dangle died.
I’ve had a lot of injuries surfing: a 6 inch slice to my thigh, multiple broken toes, a concussion from falling face first on the reef, an inch long gash on my upper lip, many dislocated shoulders, stepping on Hawaiian see urchins, a sting from a box jellyfish (probably the worst).
All of those combined were less painful than the time I took a rail of my board to my nuts and that’s without rupturing anything. I would take all of those again before another nut shot.
Gotta imagine a ruptured testicle is right up there with childbirth but I am a man so I cannot confirm
Personally, I kinda doubt it, but I have done neither
And just like that every player in the league is wearing a cup again.
Why are these men not wearing cups?
fccckkkk I wish I didn’t see that
“Can’t you just say a ‘lower-body injury’?”
“no.”
Ball on ball violence.
where’s that guy who commented in this sub a few months ago that not wearing a cup pushes catchers to do a better job catching?
1 year old kicked me in the pills yesterday. Just a perfect shot, wife didn’t understand how it ruined my whole night. And it was a far cry from being ruptured. Poor guy
My son hit a line drive back at the pitcher and hit him right in the testicles. They’re 10 and the screams from that poor boy man, smh.
1 ball, 1 strike
Back in my day you’d just scoop up your testicle with your glove, put it in your pocket, and keep playin
What happened to the game i loved?
About a decade ago catcher Caleb Joseph of the Orioles suffered a testicle injury after a foul ball hit him. The media was very respectful and conscientious in how they phrased this in reporting.
Obviously, times have changed.
He would give his left nut for the Athletics
This should have it’s own DL designation
Still got up quicker than any of the Soccer players getting “hurt” in the last month
Count is now 1-1
